How a legacy could make a difference

The list below indicates just a few of the countless things a gift in a will to the Trust (unhampered by restrictions), could become at present value.

£1,000 will fund the restoration of a small woodland pond, bringing it back to optimum condition for the wealth of wildlife that relies on it.

£5,000 will fund a butterfly and botanical survey for up to 247 acres (100 ha), helping to ensure appropriate management to protect vulnerable species and their habitat.

£7,000 will fund low impact thinning of non-native conifers using horses over approximately 10 acres (4 hectares) letting more light through to encourage natural regeneration of native species.

£8,000 will help us create around 6 acres (2.5 ha) of wildflower meadow.

£10,000 will fund the installation of a foot bridge over a stream or deep gulley to allow visitors better access to the wood.

£15,000 will fund the maintenance of around 420 acres (170 ha) of ground flora for up to 5 years – keeping invasive non-native species in check to allow native species to flourish.

£25,000 will enable us to traditionally lay around 2.5 miles (4 km) of boundary hedge – providing new habitat for thousands of wildlife species.

£30,000 will fund 2.5 miles (4 km) of deer and rabbit fencing to protect vulnerable woodland and new tree planting from damage.

£50,000 will fund over half a mile (1 km) of all-weather access track – enabling people of different abilities to enjoy a woodland walk all year round.

£100,000 could fund the planting of between 45,000 and 50,000 new native trees, on land already acquired.

£500,000 could fund the acquisition of approx. 100 acres (40 ha)* of farmland for native broadleaf tree planting – buffering ancient woodland.

£1,000,000 could fund the acquisition of around 400 acres (160 ha)* of irreplaceable ancient woodland, keeping it safe for the wildlife depending on it and for future generations to enjoy.

* Depending on location and existing use of the land
